1. Introduction
The Mumbai – Ahmedabad High Speed Rail (MAHSR) Project is the first High Speed Rail (HSR)
network planned to be constructed in India. The MAHSR Project line connects Mumbai, located
in Maharashtra State with Ahmedabad in Gujarat State, passing through one Union Territory,
Dadra and Nagar Haveli (refer Figure 1). The entire stretch is divided into 8 packages from C1 to
C8.
C4 Package of High Speed Rail Project is awarded to L&T Construction. This package consists
of four stations namely, Vapi, Billimora, Surat and Bharuch and other structures viz viaducts,
SMD, Ramp, etc. C4 package starts from Ch. 156.6 km at Zaroli village to Ch. 393.7 km which
ends near Vadadora. It covers approximately 237.1 km in this package. The alignment of the
MAHSR C4 package is shown in Figure 2.

system, horizontal and diagonal bracing system, details of foundation shall be prepared. The sizes
of individual members shall be as per the design calculations.
• If proprietary system of formwork (L&T Formwork system, Doka formwork system, etc.) is used
to overcome practical issues due to site / structure to be cast, detailed drawing and design shall be
submitted to the engineer for approval.
Finishing of Formwork-
• Finishing shall conform to IRS: CBC (CL. 6.2.4 and CL. 6.2.5) (Refer Appendix-1).
Cleaning and Treatment of Forms-
• Cleaning and treatment of forms shall conform to IRS: CBC (CL. 6.3) (Refer Appendix-1).
Specialized Formwork (Slip Form)-
• For slip form, the rate of slipping the formwork shall be designed for each individual case
considering various parameters including the grade of concrete, concrete strength, concrete
temperature, ambient temperature and concrete admixtures.
• In order to verify the time and sequence of striking or removal of specialized formwork, routine
field tests for the consistency of concrete and strength development are mandatory and shall be
carried out before adoption.
Stripping and Removal of Formwork-
• Stripping time shall confirm to provisions laid down in IRS: CBC (CL. 6.4) (Refer Appendix-1).

advance.
• The formwork shall be removed in such a manner that does not cause any damage to concrete.
Centring shall be gradually and uniformly lowered in such a manner that it permits the concrete to
take stresses due to its own weight uniformly and gradually to avoid any shock or vibration.

sections as soon as possible after the concrete has set to avoid cracking due to shrinkage of
concrete.

prior to concreting works.
• "Formwork Assembly Inspection Record" describes the results of verification of inspection results
of the formwork with design documents in which the shape and dimensions of the formwork, clear
cover to the outermost reinforcement, effective height are verified.
